Minor household repairs have never been my forte. My beloved was exceptional in the maintenance department. Creative and ingenious, he crafted solutions to any problem. And some of those projects cannot be sustained without his caring. But I am learning to do what I can, call for help when needed and sometimes replace instead of repair.

The plan then was to stay 10 years, and then five more, and then, I really don鈥檛 want to leave. And so he (we) didn鈥檛.

In recent weeks, I have become an avid subscriber to podcasts. Podcasts are audio or video programs that cover a wide variety of topics. They are not intended for radio or TV audiences. Some are rebroadcasts of radio or TV shows; but most are prepared and uploaded to the internet and can be downloaded to an MP3 player, tablet or home computer. Podcast subscribers receive new episodes as they become available and can listen to them at their convenience.
